Frances Hasso and Anna Krylova conceptualized and are leading this graduate/postgraduate seminar at Duke in Fall 2022. Attached is the latest version, open access. We consider this syllabus a vernacular version shaped by our inclinations. We invite interested people to create their own versions for independent study, group education, or formal classes. We are teaching sources in English but this is not necessary for fantastic reading lists. Please email fsh5@duke.edu and anna.krylova@duke.edu if you have questions.
The seminar culminated on November 30, 2022, with an open in-person and live-streamed Feminist Theory and Imperialism Conference that included guest presentations by Elena Gapova, Xueping Zhong, Maya Mikdashi, Serene J. Khader, and Françoise Vergès, with commentaries on the theme by Frances Hasso and Anna Krylova. A YouTube recording of the conference may be found here.
